Comparison of GPS Point Selection Methods for GIS Area Measurement of Small Jurisdictional Wetlands
… Recent USACE regulations set a threshold of impacts to wetlands at one-half acre. Impact area can be determined by Global Positioning System (GPS) measurement of wetland boundary and Geographic Information System (GIS) calculation of impact area. GPS point selection methods include (1) equal …

Time series analysis of vegetation dynamics and burn scar mapping at Smoky Hill Air National Guard Range, Kansas using moderate resolution satellite imagery
… history and a time series analysis. The study area is Smoky Hill Air National Guard Range (ANGR), an Impact Area (within the range) and a non-military Comparison Site. Landsat 5 TM / 7 ETM+ imagery was used to create an 11 year composite burn history image. NDVI values were derived from MODIS …

Neutron activation analysis of plants as pollution indicators
… the course of this study. The peak finding and area calculation routines incorporate uncomplicated techniques which have been shown by the test data to produce consistent results. A versatile feature of the program is that it can determine simultaneously, both . qualitatively and quantitatively, …

Forces and time delay due to impact with gates in ski racing
In an effort to better understand impacts with gates during ski racing competition, on-snow measurements and observations were made of both standard gates and inflatable gates. These observations highlighted the importance of impact force and time. Two additional experiments were done to analyze …

Assessing the influence of lifter profiles on the velocity profile and the charge toe and shoulder using data from the PEPT system
… at the mill shell and therefore control the impact area and magnitude. The area and magnitude of the charge impact will affect the grind of the mill and energy utilization in the mill. The thesis was also aimed at generating data that can be used to model the velocity profile that can be …

Effects of Fall Technique Training on Impact Forces when Falling from Standing
… combat fall technique training could reduce the impact forces of falls from standing. Twenty-six healthy young adults (14 males and 12 females) participated in our study, and were randomly assigned to either a training group or non-training (control) group. Both groups completed a …

Scheduling and routing of service trucks and planning of resource replenishment locations for winter roadway maintenance
Routing of snow plow trucks in urban and regional areas encompasses a variety of complex decisions, especially for jurisdictions with heavy snowfall. The main activities involve dispatching a fleet of plow trucks from a central depot and/or satellite facilities to clean and spread salt/chemicals on …
